NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric potential and work done in electrostatics is correct?
The work done in bringing a charge from infinity to a point in an electric field is independent of the path taken.
Electric potential is defined solely based on the charge of the object being moved.
Electric potential depends only on the charge distribution and not on the location of the charge within the field.
Electric potential is zero at all points in an electric field due to the presence of charges.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The work done in bringing a charge from infinity to a point is indeed path-independent, as stated in the context of potential difference in electrostatics. This reflects the conservative nature of electric fields.
